An article published in the journal “Astronomy & Astrophysics” reports the identification of the exoplanet Wolf 1069 b, which has a mass close to the Earth’s and orbits within its star system’s habitable zone. A team of researchers led by Diana Kossakowski of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy used the CARMENES spectrographs mounted on the 3.5-metre telescope of the Calar Alto Observatory, Spain, to identify traces of Wolf 1069 b using the radial velocity method. This exoplanet is tidally locked with its star, which poses a problem for habitability, but its star doesn’t have powerful flares. These characteristics make Wolf 1069 b an interesting object of study.
